Texas A&M University has pledged a 100-percent increase over a
five-year period in the number of students taking advantage of
study-abroad opportunities— reaching a level that would exceed 4,000.
Texas A&M officials say they believe their pledge represents the
largest increase in Texas and among the largest nationally.

Texas A&M officials made the pledge as part of the Institute of International Education’s (IIE) “Generation Study Abroad” initiative to vastly increase the number of American students who study abroad by the end of the decade.

“Texas A&M has taken this bold step as part of its Quality
Enhancement Plan, ‘Aggies Commit to Learning for a Lifetime’,” Vice
Provost for Academic Affairs Pamela R. Matthews stated in the
university’s written commitment to IIE officials. “When students make a
commitment to engage purposefully in a high-impact learning experience
such as studying abroad, they are developing habits and skills to
prepare themselves for lives of leadership and service to society.”
